I guess I can stand with you against the act of killing (but not eating) Squirrels. I won't be attending any rallies though.

I understand...but unfortunately I feel most hunters will not admit that they have killed other animals~~unnecessarily~~ for the hell of it. Be it birds, squirrels or rabbit...whatever.

If you really thought about it I think you would see that this is hardly an epidemic. Most Wildlife populations have increased over the last few decades, those that have not are usually in other countries.

I am all for care for our planet, but let me emphasize our. Many things harm the planet and the animal kingdom but man has always progressed in learning to manage the situation. Hunting is not an issue, it is natural and few animals are tortured for the hell of it (more by sickos than actual hunters). In Fact I would be willing to bet that poor environmental policies pushed by the radical left have done more harm than all the hunters in the USA. Just look at the terrible deaths caused by the Environmentalist who thought they knew best and ended up harming all sorts of wildlife in the Kalamath Basin.

It is time for common sense and facts. Common Sense says that hunting is no great harm. In fact I am sure less "wild" animals are hunted now than ever in the US. So many just rely on industry to raise, slaughter and process their food never having affected the wild populations of Squirrels.

I think you need a much more important cause, try Global warming or the plight of the Palestinians.

Yes your right, by that logic Environmentalist should be prosecuted. I have no problem with them exercising Free Speech, I just want to prosecute them for their Crimes against Man and Nature.

Hunters and Farmers should sit on the jury since the environmentalist tried to project the harm they caused on them.
